Like on that real old south park episode "he's coming strait for us"
Not to hijack but about 8 years ago we believe we had two in our horse pasture. It was about 7pm in winter we had maybe 6 inches of snow. When our dogs started to go nuts (they were in the invisible fence, but over lookin the pasture) we yelled to try to get them to shut up but they were barking like we never heard there was intencety with there barks. We looked at the dogs and there hairs were on end, teeth eposed nonstop growls. We look in the field and the horses were running full tilt then all three circled butts touching each other. Super high alert, our horses were so skittish and going out of there minds. Then we heard a raspy rrrraaarrrr sound, to say the least it was loud and close, and hit you strait to your bones. Thinking our horse are on the menue my dad and I each grabbed a light and a shotgun and went out to see what it was. It was nerve racking, we could see a little bit with our eye on account of the snow, but we were at the mercy of our lights. After a few minutes of scopeing out the field and after all the ruckus we never got a glimps of what it was, but we found two set of tracks walking about 4 feet apart right throught the middle of our field. These were not dog tracks, definatly cat about 4inch across both pairs. Much to big for a bobcat...
I know we did not see with our eyes what made the 2 sets tracks but you can not convince me it wasnt a mtn lion.
